Home Cooking: A Writer in the Kitchen QUOTES

1 " The old days were slower. People buttered their bread without guilt and sat down to dinner en famille. "

― Laurie Colwin , Home Cooking: A Writer in the Kitchen

2 " For the socially timid, the kitchen is the place to be. At least, it is a place to start. "

― Laurie Colwin , Home Cooking: A Writer in the Kitchen

3 " Dinner alone is one of life’s pleasures. Certainly cooking for oneself reveals man at his weirdest. People lie when you ask them what they eat when they are alone. A salad, they tell you. But when you persist, they confess to peanut butter and bacon sandwiches deep fried and eaten with hot sauce, or spaghetti with butter and grape jam. "

― Laurie Colwin , Home Cooking: A Writer in the Kitchen

4 " In foreign countries I am drawn into grocery shops, supermarkets and kitchen supply houses. I explain this by reminding my friends that, as I was taught in my Introduction to Anthropology, it is not just the Great Works of mankind that make a culture. It is the daily things, like what people eat and how they serve it. "
